Engineering Review
(4) Throttle: interconnected and mechanically
linked variable position fuel control lever
with stops for OFF, IDLE, APPROACH
IDLE and full forward (MRT)
(a) OFF: interrupts or prevents fuel flow to
engine
(b) IDLE: opens fuel shutoff valve to
direct fuel to fuel spray nozzles
(c) APPROACH IDLE: with landing gear
down and aircraft weight off wheels,
maintains minimum RPM at
approximately 72%
(d) Full forward: operates engine at
military rated thrust (MRT) or full
throttle
b.
Indicators
(1) TGT indicator: indicates exhaust gas
temperature in degrees centigrade
speed in percent RPM
(3) FUEL FLOW indicator: indicates rate of
fuel flow to engine combustion chamber in
pounds per hour
voltage
(5) GTS advisory light: when illuminated,
indicates gas turbine air producer has
attained idling speed prior to engine start
(6) READY advisory light: when illuminated,
indicates a low pressure (N1) shaft speed of
